Is Corbett Having State Employee Compile Enemies List on State Time? (Dennis Roddy)

A Post-Gazette reporter named Dennis Roddy always seemed to have the inside scoop from Tom Corbett for his news articles during the Governor campaign. All of the leaks from Corbett's campaign and AG office always seemed to flow right down to Roddy, who provided lots of favorable coverage. Right after the election, he was hired by Corbett as a state employee to handle communications. A person with the username DennisRoddy has even recently appeared on DU to defend Corbett.

Now, there are allegations on the link that State employee Dennis Roddy has been doing political work during his workday, including investigating critics of Corbett and passing that information onto other journalists. Much much more at the link.

4. I would just like to say that I had no involvement in getting Roddy blocked on this site

If he is making up his list for state government retribution, I would just like the honorable Mr. Roddy to know that I had absolutely no involvement in getting him blocked from DU. I am just a little volunteer assistant moderator who only checks in to make sure no one on the PA. site is insulting the President.

5. me neither

Whatever else I think of him (nothing much good) I do have to give grudging respect for posting under his real name, on the AWF site as well as here. He could have taken a username like another troll we had a while back, hung around telling lies and obfuscations against Joe Sestak for quite some time before tombstoned.

Sigh. I just assume Big Brother is watching me, and go ahead speaking my mind anyway. I lived a suppressed life for way too long, not wanting to argue with a teabagger ex and fearing the loss of my job from my evil corporate overlord. I hope I'm near the top of their fucking list.

6. I'm with you on this one.

I also assume I am watched, and it will not silence me. And that spills over into real life, where everyone knows where I stand---and why. I am the token liberal at work, because they also know exactly where I stand.
